A native of notoriously grimy Baltimore who spent some seasons in filthy Philadelphia learning the craft, her arrival in New York City circa 2018 signaled a shift in development, one confirmed by the emergence of her Maedon moniker and her partnership with Brooklyn/Berlin techno powerhouse Sonic Groove and its head Adam X. Already a longtime student of industrial and wave music, applying these ideas to the tough techno pioneered by this NYC institution brought her to new breakthroughs and quickly earned an international audience, cemented by her own move to Berlin mid-pandemic. Now three years, two albums, and an entire world later, Maeghan forges ahead to the next phase of a rapidly building career. A well-received collaborative full length with Adam X as Maedon-X on the legendary Tresor imprint confirmed her voice to the world with its impressively finessed production chops alongside raw, often autobiographical or political track titles and vocal content. Launched in 2023, her own Rant & Rave label is testament to her expanding interest in techno combined with intentional efforts to forward female artists, reflective of her own struggles within a still-male dominated subculture. A residency at Tresor affirms her place behind the decks as well as the boards, and a busy release schedule of legends and emerging names alike for Rant & Rave signals strong moves ahead for an already-respected talent. Assuring her future as the world falls apart, Maedon’s bracing sound and undeniable skills are a story now unfolding, with its beginnings already written in grit. ̸ SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY Rant & Rave: RAR001 Cease & Resist Tresor: TRESOR341 The Lion & The Ram, Maedon & Adam X present Maedon-X Sonic Groove: SG1991 Against His Will Sonic Groove: SGD2002 Escape To Berlin Sonic Groove: SGLP11 Now I Am Become Death Ohm Resistance: OHM7108 Counting Milliseconds Until The Hit ‎(7", Ltd) (pulsewidthmod) Detroit Underground: Detund34 Serpentine Servitude (pulsewidthmod) Synthicide: Descent (Maedon Remix) Drøne: “Disconnected World (Maedon Remix)” Sonic Groove: SGLP08 “Vorsicht” DEVIATE rec: Dev003 “Egregore” Aufnahme + Wiedergabe: “Meet The Butcher (Maedon Remix)” Metroplolis Records: PulseWidthMod & Databomb - The Web (Cabaret Voltaire Cover)
